What qualifies as "abuse?"

[apom]

I'm about 10,000 words or so into a story involving a submissive woman who likes things rough. It involves some heavy whipping and asphyxiation play and stuff. I read this in the stickied "Site Editors vs Volunteer Editors and Other Quick Facts" thread as something to check before submission...

• Was there excessive violence, snuff, or abuse of characters in the story?

What qualifies as excessive violence or abuse?

Thanks!

Whatever makes Laurel think ICK

As long as the sub is consenting to everything you mention, its not abuse.

But JBJ is right, it's all contingent on what Laurel, the site submissions editor, is thinking about that on any given day.

Right the site is run by whim, not rules. I forget that sometime when I actually try to give an answer that makes sense.

I never argue with Laurel about her standards, after a while I got a sense of her limits, and stay back from her limits. LIT is more like a Russian Tchaikovsky Competition than a Paris fashion Show. More aint better, here.

We've had several threads of late on how gruesome can the deaths be and still get through. Apparently they can be pretty gruesome. Why then, I wonder, that when I tried to tag a murder mystery story (you know, a mainline genre in literature) "murder mystery," Literotica wouldn't accept the tag? It's obviously not that someone was offed that makes it unacceptable in the Lit. file, it's the context of the offing. So, why is the standard genre "murder mystery" rejected as a tag? (No need to answer; I'm aware that there are a lot of head-scratching anomalies here. It's just an observation of the surreal).

You can't remember where you hid it.
